I don't bring my own lunch is maybe on pay day to treat myself (I know how to live the high life, eh?) or if it someone's birthday and we go out for lunch. Other than that I always bring my own lunch and then laugh at my colleagues who spent about £8 a day at Pret then wonder why they're skint half way through the pay cycle.

What I don't get is why saving money is (seemingly) seen as a virtue in itself. I'd save £800 a year if I didn't go to football or about £150 if I didn't go to the cinema. But I like doing those things, the same way I like going for a stroll to buy some lunch or spending as much of the morning in bed as possible. It's not the most sensible thing in the world, but I don't aspire to save money.

I don't think an hour is really enough time to go out, sit down, and enjoy a good meal and while I have nothing against sandwiches from Pret, Eat, et al. they're rarely that much better then ones I make myself.

people kick your chair when they walk past you, sometimes they nick your Blue Ribband and throw it to each other whilst you desperately try to catch it and sometimes they just straight up flob on you and your packed lunch

Side note: I had a corned beef and tomato sauce sandwich today, was not as amazing as I remembered and has left me quite unfufilled. Still better than anything you can get from the Co-opy or Tesco though.

but now that I'm a poor student again I do, when I remember to make them the night before at least. Most people seem to do the same! It might be partly because the sandwiches in the cafe are really gash.

Nobody gives a shit about your lunch - it's probably just small talk, like if I walk into a kitchen and someone's got the microwave going, I'll probably say 'mmm, that smells good' even if they're grilling a turd on a plate. That's what my mouth is saying, but I'm not even THINKING about their shitty lunch - I'm probably mentally undressing Kristen Stewart or something

Out of the 5 of us here, 3 of us bring a packed lunch. I am the only one who actually makes their own lunch, the others have their mummies do it for them. They often open their lunch and get the hump because they're mum has put the wrong sandwich filling in.

I work on an industrial estate so the only food close by is the wagon.
